A 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle card was next to worthless in the 1970's.....once those 35 to 45 year olds in the 1980's starting feeling nostalgic about their boyhood baseball cards, prices started skyrocketing. Now today that 52 Mantle approaches a half million dollars in higher grades......totally absurd for a piece of cardboard with an image printed on it (in which THOUSANDS of them were printed) went from being worthless in the 70's to worth than most people's house today!
We're seeing similar trends now with this generation of 30-45 year olds who grew up the 80's and 90's. Now they have disposable income to spend on nostalgic items from their childhood. Everything 80's is taking off like wildfire now. Time will tell if it starts affecting the prices on C4 Vettes.

Yeah, 80s stuff is fire. I've shown pics of my newly acquired C4 to ppl (female friends) who don't give a rats arse about cars and they really like it
But I think the 80s and early 90s were special. I dont think America will care about the 50s, 60, 70s like they will the 80s.
Great to see yall are enjoying your Zs though. Maybe I'll have one one day
